Figure 1 represents a perspective view. of .the iuvention.

Flgure 4 is a cross-section.

Figure 5 is a viewofa` modification of the form of i Figures 6 and ifare modifications, shown by end sections, of the said faceblock.

Figure 8 represents the face-block with'a plane-iron .suitedto this tool.

. The nat-nrc of my'inventiou consistsfin a toolfholder and a face-block properly secured" together, and so arranged as to receive and hold a-scraper or toothplane iron, or a straight plane-iron,'or any' other similar edge tool, by which-the workmenplane, -tooth, 01' .Scraps @veuille suffesf the, veneer I i Tlirareimanyfkmds er woodsdiffic'un n) even on' account of the waving or curling nature of the grain vot' the fibre. By this tool, any and all kinds of wood veneer may beevenedand smoothed, with less lafhor andjtrouble, than with the hand-held toolsn'ow `used. v ,The tool-holder may he constructed of' wood or metal, and consists of 'a bar about a foot long, furnished with a handle on each end, and is furnished with a holding-bar, pivoted` to'two eye-bolts, furnished with screws and set-nuts, also with a set-bolt, all of `which are` arranged and connected with the handled bar, so as to x and hold the scraper, plane-iron, or other similar tool, in any required position. The face-block is secured Yto the said tool-holder by propel' bolts or screws, and is provided with a mouth y Figure 3 is a longitudinal section, through red line',

and 3, and thetool-bar a, pivoted at each end, as

shown in iig. 4, to the two eye-bolts e e, gs. 1 and 2.v

y The said eye-bolts e e pass through the handle-har A, from the front to the rear, and are provided with thulnbnuts,by which the' said tool-bar may be drawn nearer to t-he handled bar or further from it.

i A screw-holt, 4c, also works from the back of the y handled bar A, and into it, and through to the tool bar a, as shown in figs. '1, 2, and 3. The scraper S, iigs. 1 and 2, or plane-iron S', iig.

.. 8, is placed against the back of the tool-bar a, tig. 3,

and between the handled bar A and the said tool-bar,

and when thus placed, the said tool S or S is secured iu its place, at any angle desired, by means of' the vsaid set-bolt c and eye-bolts e e.

`The other part of my invention consists in the faceblcck B, shown in iigs. 1, 2. and 3.

The said face-block may be made of wood or metal, and is furnished with a mouth, b, the same as a plane, and may be either straight on its lower face, as iu lig. 3, 0r concave, as in fig. 5, or the reverse, to tit the surface the tool is intended to operate upon, or they ,may be `made either straight, or concave, or4 convex,

longitudinally, as referred .to,fwith moulding forms similar to those showu iu figs. 6 and 7, or any other r form, as maybe required.

The said face-,block is secured to the*double-handledvf barl'A, 1, 2,' and 3, by" means ot' 4the screws o o,

or their equivalents.

A plain flat face-b1ock may be used, as shown -iu Y figs. l, and'3, t'o which supplementary blocks B may be secured, as' shown in ugs-5., 6, and 7, and when thus furnished inl sets, together with the straps or plane-irons to correspond, the workman will have a tool which will enable him to perform and finish his work with greater ease andfacilit-y than can be done with the means they nowhave. 4

When a plane-iron, S', is to he used, as in iig. 8, I would prefer to have 4the cutting-edge curved forward, asshown.

Having described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is` y The tool-holder, consisting oi the block B, double' A constructed to operate as described, substantially as
